...enjoying Amish-made three-year cheddar
and plenty of eggs from the hens for hard boiling
...good mail--a new Country Living magazine and
a new sewing book, Simple Modern Sewing: 8 Basic Patterns to Create 25 Favorite Garments. I think I'm going to like these
patterns--they are basic and simple, but with lots of
possibilities.
...with the lovely warm weather and sunshine we've
been having { the spring peepers are out in full force,
which is a sure indication that Spring is here--early! }
I brought some of the geraniums from downstairs
under the grow light, and placed them up here
in the windows.
...the garter yoke cardi is coming along well;
only one more sleeve to go...
Hope your week is a pleasant one!

So glad Spring seems to be here! Much needed sunshine around here. Warm temps too! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen photo. Makes me want to come for a visit and stay a while.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, we could sit and have some tea and a scone--orange-cranberry today :) .....Deb
DeleteHello Deb, I always look forward to new posts from your creative blog. They light up my day and encourage me to be more creative in my own way. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cath! Your kind words light up my day :).....Deb
DeleteYour home always looks fresh and ready for the upcoming season.
ReplyDeleteDeb - As I want to be respectful of the bloggers that I read - how do you feel about people pinning your photos?
Vicki, I appreciate so much that you asked. I haven't really given it a lot of thought, though I did notice once that several of my pictures are on Pinterest. And I don't think that most of the persons pinning them ever asked.
DeleteIf the picture gives mention of, or a link back to my blog, I don't mind a photo being pinned--feel free to do so.
Thanks for the kind words Vicki, I always love reading your comments here...Deb
Your images are so peaceful...I can really imagine you sitting at the table and flipping through your magazine with a lovely cup of coffee :)
ReplyDeleteTanya, thanks for stopping by!...Deb
DeleteOh Deb, that cheese looks delicious! Love the photos as usual and I have already throughly enjoyed my Country Living .... such excitement when it comes in the mail!

Thanks Debbie! I have slowly let my other magazine subscriptions lapse, but I can't give up Country Living :) Deb
DeleteHi Deb! I received that same sewing book for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful - I have already made one garment from it and just love it.
The only hard part for me was tracing out the patterns (all those lines on one page was a tad confusing) and then also remembering to add the seam allowance.
Don't you just want to make almost everything in there?
Those lines are confusing, aren't they! I'm halfway through my first top, and can't wait to try the linen pants and some skirts!...Deb
DeleteLovely pictures of your daily life. You have a beautiful home. I might have to get that sewing book! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!
DeleteI love all the light in your house- mine is so dark because of the porches-
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
When we built, I requested extra windows :) Thanks for the visit...Deb
DeleteI love Country Living too. 3 year cheddar... does the aging make it sharper? Yum! You lovely home is always an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, it is a nice sharp cheese. Thanks for stopping by...Deb
DeleteThanks for sharing the photos of your lovely home...it looks so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie!
DeleteThanks for the sewing book posting....that looks like a good one! I just got my CL mag in the mail too. I haven't sewn clothes since my kids were little and they've got their own now but I would like to sew for myself now that I have more time than money! LOL! We used to say the same thing about Spring when I had my little farm in Iowa. When you heard the "peepers" it was Spring for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great you can get fresh wonderful food like that where you live. I have a cheese making kit I ordered but I haven't tried it yet.
I also need help with my blog so I think I might get those magazines you have featured about blogging. I didn't even know they existed! Just what I need! I love your blog and we are interested in all the same things! Have a great week!
Thank you for your visit!....Deb
DeleteI love "good mail." I look forward to seeing what you produce from the new patterns book.
ReplyDeleteI'm about halfway there with the tunic top...the nice weather is keeping my away from the sewing machine!...Deb
Deletei really wish i could sew like you. me i'm mall bound (ugh) to try and find some flowy tops. happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the visit!....Deb
DeleteI noticed you have wooden countertop in your home. I am considering adding them to my home and I was wondering if you like them? Do you have a poly on yours or just tung oil? Do you sanitize them often (chemically)? or just always clean with soap and water? Thanks so much in advance, I really apprecitate everyone's opinion!
